Uma finds acting relaxing
The Bel Ami actress Uma Thurman, who has 13-year-old daughter Maya and 10-year-old son Levon, with ex-husband Ethan Hawke, turns to her profession to calm down because she often drives herself “nuts”.
She said, “I’m not very relaxed naturally. I’m one of those highly focused, overly intense characters. I often drive myself nuts. I actually find work can be quite relaxing. When the children were little I wasn’t able to work like I did before. So now, when I do work, it’s very much like, ‘This is good, this is my time.’”
The 41-year-old star, who is believed to be pregnant with her third child, which will be her first with boyfriend Arpad Busson, admits she wouldn’t have believed anyone if they had foretold her how her acting career would pan out.
Uma, who has starred in hit movies Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, added, “If you had sat me down and gone through some of the challenges I would face and what I would overcome and grow through, I probably wouldn’t have believed any of it.”

Robin blames illness on fame
The Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb, who underwent seven rounds of chemotherapy in 18 months in a bid to beat liver cancer, admitted he sometimes wonders if his family tragedies including his own ill health and the deaths of his brothers Andy in 1988 and Maurice in 2003 are a “karmic price” for their worldwide success.
He explained to The Sun newspaper, “I sometimes wonder if all the tragedies my family has suffered, like Andy and Maurice dying so young and everything that’s happened to me recently, is a kind of karmic price we are paying for all the fame and fortune we’ve had. But we’ve worked hard for everything we’ve achieved. I am not and never have been at death’s door. But the illness, and the untimely death of my brothers, has made me conscious of the fact that, rather than just think about it, it’s crucial that you do today what you want to do.” —Bang Showbiz
